食品伙伴网讯 据外媒报道,近日澳大利亚三家大型超市卷入奴役童工丑闻,它们均从一家泰国公司采购虾,然而该公司被曝光奴役童工,剥夺他们的人身自由。
对此,三大超商均表示,正对供应链进行调查。这引发了澳大利亚今年夏天可能面临大虾供应短缺的担忧。
据报道,媒体曝光泰国大众冷冻产品公司(Thai unio)使用包括童工在内的劳工后,大型超市都承认从该公司采购虾。
部分原文报道如下:
Woolworths, Coles and Aldi are embroiled in a child labour scandal, with all three supermarket chains confirming they sell prawns or seafood supplied by a Thai company at the centre of the allegations.
Graphic evidence of forced labour, including child labour, has been uncovered at a prawn peeling factory owned by major seafood supplier Thai unio.
An investigation by Associated Press found hundreds of workers at the company's factories working under poor conditions with some workers, mainly from Myanmar, locked inside or otherwise unable to leave the factory.
